- Joel experienced a wrongful police stop due to an NCIC database error amplified by Flock cameras, not a Flock system error.
- Flock CEO Garrett Langley defends the technology, citing over a million crimes solved last year and a very low false positive rate.
- Langley advocates for modernizing the FBI's NCIC database with expiration periods and feedback loops to prevent stale data.
- Flock does not own the data; local governments own it, and Flock stores it on AWS with 30-day default retention.
- Privacy and Fourth Amendment concerns are addressed by local elected officials setting retention policies, not by Flock.
- Langley apologizes for calling vandals 'domestic terrorists,' clarifying he opposes illegal vandalism but supports lawful protest.
- Flock requires multi-factor authentication and has audit logs to detect police misuse, such as stalking.
- Langley envisions expanding to all 17,000 U.S. cities to make crime harder to get away with, citing San Francisco's success.
- Some cities cancel Flock contracts but later re-adopt after crime increases, according to Langley.
- Congressional threats to defund Flock-using cities are dismissed as unlikely, with Langley favoring state-level regulation.
